CIJJUlliOTTB DAILY ' UB3EVEBrogTOBEU 0, 11)04. AMCSEMENTS. Some of the Attractions 8oon to Ap pear Here iHhthe Academy. ' i, The Washington (D. C.) Post recently said of Harry B, Srnith's musical com edy: "It ia too bad that the Willie boys could not have taken a peep be hind the. scenes at the Columbia The : at re during & rehearsal of The Lib ery Belles.' Just to see bow pretty the Belles really are in the garish light of ' day. Washington should be pleased that it baa contributed so well to this aggregation j of feminine loveliness. A.mong the- Washlntonlahs are pottle Torrens, better known aa 'Miss Silvery Throat Bessie Williams. Mabel Klpp, Marguerite Mas! and Marie Ann Fields. "The Liberty Belles" will be seen at the Academy to-morrow v night Prices. 11.60. 11 and "6, 60 and 25 cents. In "The Fatal Wedding," which comes to the Academy of , Music Sat urday night, the theatres-goers of this city will get something out of the ordi nary run of comedy dramas. The piece, ' wnich has just finished a successful run in New York city, proved its drawing powers by playing to crowded houses during its engagement in the metropo lis. The scenic effects are truly won derful and marvelous, depicting repro ductions of some of the most famous scenes in and around Gotham. Notably among these are shown a counterfeit er's den, located on the banks of the Hudson river. Another scene shows ( the famous Palisades at night. In con nection with this, a great storm effect la produced, making one of the most realistic scenes ever attempted.' The famous Grace church. New York city, la reproduced, as well as several other well known New Work landmarks. A strong cast has been secured V present the play. One of the most important offerings of the present theatrical season is Wtfi. Ii. west's Big Minstrel Jubilee, an nounced at the Academy for next Tues day, ; October 11th. The : company, equipment and all details necessary to insure absolutely perfect performances are promised .nd there is every indi cation of record-creaking Business. Bettina Gerard's transformation of herself from an attractive looking wo man Into a fright, somewhat of the Bis Hopkins variety, made in full view of the audience, requires a considerable amount of courage on the part of an actress, but Miss Gerard seems to en Joy revealing some of the secrets of the toilet, and, as she says, "the aver age woman finds it much harder to make herself beautiful than to make herself ugly." This transformation is effected in that brilliant semi-musical comedy, "The Marriage of Kitty," which will be offered at the Academy of .Music on next Wednesday, October 12th. That admirable comedian. Max Flgman, has the. opposite part to Miss Gerard. The piece is said, on the best authority, to be intensely funny with out a trace of coarseness or vulgarity. Miss Gerard is required to sing to her own accompaniment, and she Is renew ing the trlwnps of'her com la opera days. The scenery, which includes views of Laic e Geneva is unusually beautiful, and 1b exactly similar to that used , in New York. The 'N"ew York Evening Baa saldt -"The Marriage of Kitty,' is the drollest play seen in New York in years." BRIEFS.
